I signed up on UShip to ship an 80-lb crate from springfield, Mo, to Albuquerque. The crate was stoutly built and the contents pretty much unbreakable. The route was a straight shot down I-44 and out I-40. There was no indication before I began messaging the driver, and there was no indication before he and I agreed on a price, that UShip was going to charge me an additional 30% for their service. UShip is a rip-off. AVOID THEM AT ALL COSTS.
No explanation, no apologies. I have used uship over and over without issue. They then decided to suspend my account. Won't discuss it with me at all. Simply amazing.
Very happy with the whole experience from start to finish. UShip put me in touch with dozens of professional movers at very good prices, the hardest part was deciding which one to use.
Enables bad shippers. Shipper took one month to pick up my item. Canceled the order. Drove around with it for another month before returning it you ship didn't have any recourse for his actions.
Tom was on time and helped me to get my fifth wheel ready for the road. He was courteous, dependable and happy to be of assistance. I'd use him again in a heartbeat.
Hi Carolyn,
Thank you for your review and for choosing uShip. We're delighted to have met your expectations, and we look forward to the opportunity to work with you again.
Ive buy Harleys from all over America and Ive used uship to get them to Los Angeles. Theyve picked up bikes for me from Seattle, New York, Flordia, texas etc etc and uship always delivered ontime with no problems. A bike dealer actually recomended uship to me. Im based in New Zealand and using uship theres never been any stress, no worries and no damage. 5 years plus, Thanks for the Excellent service Uship, always on time if not earlier!
Working with the customer service team was pretty good, for the most part they kept us up to date. The first set if drivers spoke no English and didn't understand the seller
Hi Robert,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We're sorry you were unsatisfied with some of the carriers you interacted with. UShip gives consumers the ability to connect with, vet, and ultimately choose their own carrier by comparing multiple sources of information, such as customer reviews, feedback scores, carrier profiles, photos, and links to government sites. Though uShip is a neutral third party that gives consumers the ability to connect with independent carriers, we do our best to assist when issues arise.
We appreciate your feedback and look forward to working with you again in the future.
Race to the bottom rates get what you pay for
To much bottom feeders use this site not worth the hassle bidding lower and lower
Site then will not let you place a bid of say 710 on a 715 load and says must be lower that 690
But they don't tell you they take 20% of the profit of that 690 if that's accepted
I've used this site once before made nothing and tried to use it again but same result
If your an auto transporter stay away from uship you will make no money
And if your a customer im sure the type of auto shippers will be the illegal ones, uship don't check for insurance or proper authority you could give them any dot number and your singed up
Support does not exist and good luck trying to get a damage claim
And USHIP didn't hold him accountable for anything. They don't protect the consumer and they don't qualify their shippers. You'll get the snarky kid throwing your merchandise in the bushes and riding his bike on down the street. NEVER AGAIN

Hi Ted,
Thank you for your review and for choosing uShip. We're delighted to have met your expectations, and we look forward to the opportunity to work with you again.
I took a dryer from Wayne Pa to Chesapeake Va on July 15th for UShip and I have not been paid! This was my first time going on the road working for this company and I am very disappointed! My name is Scott Winrader.
Hey Scott, I'm sorry you haven't received your payment. I looked at your account and I can confirm that the payment code was activated on 7/15 and it's been sitting in your account since then waiting for you to withdraw it. I sent you an email directly with instructions on how to do so - keep an eye out for it! - CB@uShip
I contacted the before I bought the atv and got an estimate well double that and still no takers. If you buy off ATV trader get a second option don't just use their quote
I've used you ship many times over the years. It's always been convenient and easy. I've never had any trouble with them, and their drivers are always cordial and professional.
Hi Bill,
Thanks for taking the time to share your positive experience. We truly appreciate it and hope to work again with you in the future!
Chris did a great job! Even though my request was last minute, he came through. Everything arrived intact and on time. Very pleasant and polite demeanor.
Communication is everything and that's what they brought to the table because transferring something of thousands of dollars, you want to know exactly where it's at. They did awesome!
Hi Michael,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience! We're happy to hear that your shipment was delivered with care. We look forward to working with you again in the future.
I had a 2022 KTM 890 adventure bike shipped 687 miles away. Not only it arrived on time but it was meticulously tied down and packed. Driver was extremely pleasant. Happy ending.
UShip is a very good service, but you arent dealing with uShip per se... you are dealing with mostly unknown shippers. BE AWARE of who you are dealing with and expect very good and clear communication. Most of the time I have had problems with shippers delivering late... even months late. Since you dont have anything much but a phone number or email, they can ghost you anytime they choose. How easy is it to deny a call or just throw a phone away and start over again. Leaving you with no property. Just be sure you have communicated your expectations clearly and ask for very clear contact info, even a copy of an ID or DL. Once this person has your property, what power do you have to get them to deliver? UShip I can assure you does very little to nothing when it comes to these issues. At best they can block the shipper from doing business (in that account) in the future. So what? Anyway... best of luck,... I have used uship dozens of times and had no real issue with uShip. I do wish they could control the vetting system better, and create a stronger connection from the client to the shipper so we have legitimate ways of managing the process. Because now you just have to stay lucky. Lucky you got a good honest responsible shipper.
Hi Nic,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with uShip. We appreciate your honest feedback.
We understand that communication with carriers can occasionally be a challenge, and we apologize for any inconveniences you've faced. As you said, vetting, reading reviews, and being precise with what you need from the carriers before you accept a quote is the key to success. If you ever have any questions or need assistance with a listing/shipment, our support team is available to help.
We truly value your input, as it helps us improve our services and provide a better experience for our users. If you have any specific suggestions or further details you'd like to share, please reach out to our support team at support@uship.com or 800-698-7447.
Once again, thank you for choosing uShip. We look forward to working again with you in the future.
I had some furniture moved and carrier quoted $600. Uship automatically marked it up with a "provider fee" I had to pay for total of $667. Okay, they're entitled to their cut. But at checkout, Uship website tacked on another 11% "service charge" for a total of 22% markup over what the carrier charged. That's a ripoff right there.
Carrier then delivered my items late, severely damaged one of them (when it fell off their truck at high speed). Carrier offered to kick back a few dollars to compensate, but shut down all communications after I released payment through Uship's website.
I later asked Uship about the duplicate charge of $67 and they copped an attitude, saying the "service charge" was plainly marked at checkout. Yes it was, but what about the mysterious 11% "provider fee" they tacked on before that? I emailed back asking them to send me the link on their website where it admits a 22% markup over what the carrier charges - surprise! No such disclosure.
Duplicate charges + late delivery + snotty attitudes = avoid at all costs and go directly with a shipper you or someone you know has worked with before.
We booked with Yasmin & Hector Escobedo, *******014, on 9/19/22. After requesting cash down payment of half the cost, they delayed pick up date every few days, then were a no show. Now I am trying to get my refund, and they hang up on me and/or do not pick up. SCAM -- DO NOT USE THESE PEOPLE! I would give 0 stars, but you have to give 1 at a minimum.
I recently had the pleasure of using this website to arrange shipping, and I must say it's been an incredibly user-friendly experience from start to finish.
Navigating the website was a breeze; the design is intuitive, and I found everything I needed with ease. What stood out the most was the simplicity of obtaining quotes and arranging shipping. The process was straightforward and streamlined, saving me valuable time and effort.
The quote system was quick and accurate, providing a transparent overview of the costs involved. I appreciated the clarity in pricing, which is often a pain point with other services. It's evident that the website prioritizes user convenience.
Arranging shipping was equally hassle-free. The platform guided me through each step, and I encountered no unexpected hurdles. The communication was prompt and efficient, ensuring I was well-informed throughout the entire process.
In an era where online transactions can sometimes be a headache, this website stands out as a beacon of user-centric design. If you're looking for a seamless experience from quote to shipment, I highly recommend giving this platform a try. It has certainly earned my trust, and I'll be returning for future shipping needs.
